Annan’s Legacy of Fighting for Equality and Rights Lives On

By Edith M. Lederer

UNITED NATIONS (AP)—Kofi Annan left the United Nations far more committed than it had been to combating poverty, promoting equality and fighting for human rights—and until his death Saturday he was speaking out strongly for nations working together to solve problems and worried about the rise of nationalism.

A

s secretary-general of the United Nations from 1997 to 2006, Annan saw as his greatest achievements the programs and policies he put in place to reduce inequality within and between fordable and clean energy, and promoting peace countries, to combat infectious diseases and to promote human rights and pro- and justice.

“She will be so missed as a mother, sister, friend, cousin,” said longtime friend Roger Friedman, who also covered the Queen of Soul for decades and originally broke the story about her cancer fight on showbiz411.com.

“Her legacy is larger than life,” Friedman said. “It’s not just that ‘Rolling Stone’ called her the No. 1 singer of all time, or that she’s the Queen of Soul. Long live the Queen.”

Franklin passed away at her home on Thursday, August 16.

“The NNPA profoundly mourns the passing of our beloved ‘Sister Leader’ and Queen of Soul Aretha Franklin,” said NNPA President and CEO Dr. Benjamin F. Chavis, Jr. “Her creative genius was matched by her steadfast courage as a freedom-fighting singer and leader for civil rights.

Black America and all people of goodwill throughout the world will miss her, but her legacy will never be forgotten.”

Dr. Chavis continued: “Long live the spirit and legacy of Queen Aretha Franklin.”

Dorothy Leavell, the chairman of the NNPA and publisher of the Crusader newspapers in Chicago and Gary, Ind., said that she was saddened by the loss of the music icon.

“I send a message of sadness and respect for our beloved Queen whose musical genius [shined brightly] and resounded around the world,” Leavell said.

Condemned California Man Seeks Special DNA Investigation SACRAMENTO (AP)—A California death row inmate with some high-profile supporters asked Gov. Jerry Brown last week to appoint an independent special master to reinvestigate the case and oversee new DNA testing.

Kevin Cooper’s lawyer says the extraordinary steps would show Cooper is innocent and that law enforcement officials planted false evidence.

Cooper is awaiting execution for the 1983 Chino Hills hatchet and knife killings of four people. He escaped from a nearby minimum-security prison east of Los Angeles two days before the slayings of Doug and Peggy Ryen, their 10-year-old daughter Jessica and 11-yearold neighbor Christopher Hughes.

California’s former attorney general and now U.S. Sen. Kamala Harris and New York

Times’ columnist Nicholas Kristof are among those calling for new DNA testing.

“Nothing could be more important to the integrity of our justice system than ensuring that an innocent person is not executed,” Cooper’s attorney, Norman Hile, wrote.

The 45-page letter he sent to Brown on Friday asks for “a broader innocence investigation to be overseen by a special master appointed by the governor.”

The filing came in response

“Real News: "

First Credentialed African American Female White House Correspondent to Be Honored.

to the governor’s request last month for more details in Cooper’s clemency petition.

The governor’s office said Friday the response was being reviewed.

San Bernardino County District Attorney Mike Ramos did not immediately respond Friday.

Ramos has opposed additional testing and says Cooper, now 60, is indisputably guilty.

Brown was asked to order new DNA testing that Hile says would be five to six times more sensitive than the tests on evidence that implicated Cooper in 2002 and 2004.

It also claims that two witnesses recently came forward with details of separate confessions by the real killers. Hile wouldn’t provide their names or declarations “due to considerations for their personal safety.”

New Study Reveals Smokers Better Off Quitting, Even with Weight Gain NEW YORK (AP)—If you quit smoking and gain weight, it may seem like you’re trading one set of health problems for another.

But a new U.S. study finds you’re still better off in the long run.

The Harvard-led study found that compared with smokers, even the quitters who gained the most weight had at least a 50 percent lower risk of dying prematurely from heart disease and other causes.

The nicotine in cigarettes can suppress appetite and boost metabolism.

Many people who quit find they eat more and gain weight.

A lot of weight gain is a cause of the most common form of diabetes.

The researchers tracked more than 170,000 men and women over roughly 20 years. The New England Journal of Medicine published the study.

Report: ‘Excessive’ Shots Fired in Fatal Police Shooting SACRAMENTO (AP)—A report on a deadly 2017 deputy-involved shooting says Sacramento County sheriff’s deputies fired an excessive and unnecessary number of rounds.

Three deputies fired 28 bullets, hitting 32-year-old Mikel McIntyre seven times. He was taken to the hospital, where he later died.

The number of shots was “excessive, unnecessary, and put the community at risk,” says the report released this week by Sacramento County Inspector General Rick Braziel, a former Sacramentopolice chief. He recommended that deputies receive more training on when to turn to less deadly options against suspects like McIntyre, who was running away from officers when he was killed. He was shot after he initially struck two deputies and a police dog with rocks following erratic confrontations with his mother and other family members, authorities said.

While at times McIntyre was “an imminent threat to deputies,” the danger eased as he fled across a major highway in south Sacramento, the report says. Even had he grabbed another rock, he was so far away that deputies had time to consider less-lethal options, the report says.

McIntyre’s family sued in June. Family attorney John Burris told The Sacramento Bee that the two deputies who shot at McIntire along the highway should face criminal charges.

“It’s arguable whether you can use deadly force if someone threw a rock at you. There’s no debate about the issue of using deadly force when he’s clearly running away,” Burris said.

Sacramento County Sheriff Scott Jones criticized Braziel for releasing his report before the criminal, administrative and district attorney’s investigations are completed. He suggested in a statement to KCRA-TV that Braziel lacks “sufficient legal background or use-of-force expertise” and reached a political rather than a proper conclusion.

Sacramento District Attorney Anne Marie Schubert’s office also has yet to decide whether to bring charges against two Sacramento city police officers who killed Stephon Clark, an unarmed Black man, in March.

White House Says It Values Diversity, Won’t Disclose Numbers

WASHINGTON (AP)—White House spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders says the White House values diversity, but she would not say how many Black staffers there are in the West Wing.

Pressed by reporters for a specific number,

Sanders said: “I’m not going to go through and do a count.”

The lack of diversity in President Donald Trump’s administration has come under fresh scrutiny in the wake of a new tell-all book from

former aide Omarosa Manigault Newman, who was the highest ranking African-American official on Trump’s staff.

Sanders added: “We would love to diversify our staff and continue to do so.”

massacring their own people. At a summit in 2005, over objections from some countries, 191 nations endorsed what has become known as the “responsibility to protect” civilians and head off the world’s worst crimes, from ethnic cleansing to genocide. This doctrine is frequently cited—but to the dismay of U.N. officials, not often implemented.

Annan also saw as a major achievement the expansion of the U.N.’s work into partnerships with businesses, foundations, universities and civil society.

This led, for example, to the establishment of the Global Compact in 2001 where Annan asked corporate leaders to publicly commit to 10 principles in the areas of human rights, labor, the environment and anticorruption. More than 9,000 of the world’s leading CEOs have joined the compact, which continues to attract new members, and “corporate responsibility” has become a key feature of the business world.

When Annan handed the reins of the U.N. to Ban Kimoon, he said he would keep working on African issues, human rights, global warming and governance issues, and speak out from time to time when necessary. He told one farewell party: “You can take the man out of the U.N., but you can’t take the U.N. out of the man.”

Through his foundation and as a member and head of The Elders, the group of prominent former leaders founded by Nelson Mandela, Annan kept working—and speaking out.

At an editorial board meeting with The Associated Press in May 2017, he worried aloud about lost jobs and said many people worldwide had lost trust in political and corporate leaders and feared being left behind.

He said it was time for mainstream leaders to explain that innovation and artificial intelligence are taking away jobs and tell those who have lost jobs they are going to be retrained for the new economy that’s coming.

“If we don’t encourage leaders, first of all fresh people, to go into politics and we don’t encourage the leaders to lead, we will create a situation which is normal,” he warned. “When leaders fail to lead, the people lead and make them follow. But you don’t know where they’re going to lead you to—and they might even pull you back.”

He also said U.S. President Donald Trump’s go-it-alone foreign policy is weakening America, and stressed the importance of multilateralism and the perils of growing nationalism.

Only last month, Annan was tweeting about his concerns with the current state of the world.

“No nation can make itself secure by seeking supremacy over all others. We all share responsibility for each other’s (hash)security, and only by working to make each other secure can we hope to achieve lasting security for ourselves,” he said in a July 3 tweet that appeared aimed at the United States.

And on July 30, he tweeted: “Whether our task is fighting (hash)poverty, stemming the spread of (hash)disease or saving innocent lives from mass murder, we have seen that we cannot succeed without the (hash)leadership of the strong and the engagement of all.”

Annan believed in quiet, behind-the-scenes diplomacy but wasn’t afraid to speak out when he thought necessary. He mentored a generation of U.N. officials including current Secretary-General Antonio Guterres and outgoing U.N. human rights chief Zeid Ra’ad Al-Hussein.

The Jordanian diplomat said in a statement he once told Annan how everyone was criticizing him, and the former U.N. chief responded: “You’re doing the right thing. Let them grumble.”

“In a world now filled with leaders who are anything but that, our loss, the world’s loss, becomes even more painful,” Zeid said.

Migrant Spouse of Pregnant Woman Detained on Way to Hospital LOS ANGELES (AP)—U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement says that the California man who was arrested by its agents as he drove his wife to the hospital so she could give birth had a warrant for his arrest in Mexico.

In a statement, spokeswoman Lori Haley says Joel Arrona Lara “was brought to ICE’s attention due to an outstanding warrant issued for his arrest in Mexico on homicide charges.”

Arrona remains in custody pending removal proceedings.

Haley adds: “ICE continues to focus its enforcement resources on individuals who pose a threat to national security, public safety and border security. ICE conducts targeted immigration enforcement in compliance with federal law and agency policy. However, ICE will no longer exempt classes or categories of removable aliens from potential enforcement.”

Maria del Carmen Venegas said she and her husband, Joel Arrona Lara, were driving to the hospital Wednesday when they stopped for gas in San Bernardino.

Surveillance footage shows two vehicles immediately flank the couple’s van after they pulled into the gas station. Agents with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement questioned the couple and asked for identification, Venegas said.

Venegas, 32, said she provided hers but that Arrona had left his at home in their rush to the hospital. The surveillance footage shows the agents handcuffing the 35-year-old Arrona and taking him away, leaving a sobbing Venegas alone at the gas station.

Venegas said she drove herself to the hospital for a scheduled cesarean section for the birth of her fifth child.

“My husband needs to be here,” Venegas told KCBS-TV on Friday as she held her newborn son. “He had to wait for his son for so long, and someone just took him away.”

Arrona, who is from Mexico, has lived in the U.S. for 12 years without legal authorization, Venegas said, but added that he’s a hard worker, the sole provider of the family and has never been in trouble with the police.

ICE confirmed in a statement Saturday that agents detained Arrona on Wednesday and said he remained in custody pending removal proceedings.

Venegas said she has not been able to contact her husband to tell him their new son was born and doing well.

“The last thing he knew was that I was here in the hospital,” she said. “I’m sure he’s worried.”

She said she is seeking an attorney in hopes of getting Arrona released.

To make the list, colleges must have graduation rates at or above the median in their category or graduation rates that are unusually high when compared with schools that have students with similar test scores and socioeconomic backgrounds.

Money’s research methodology closely examined college affordability in such areas as the net price of degree, student loan repayment, and the value added by degree. The magazine also looked at the quality of education centered on six-year graduation rates, Pell Grant recipient outcomes, and peer and instructor quality, as well as the overall outcomes in such areas as job meaning and socio-economic mobility.

Newseum to Honor Legendary Black Journalist with Statue

By Tramon Lucas WASHINGTON (AP)—A pioneering Black, female journalist is being honored with a statue in the nation’s capital.

A life-size sculpture of Alice Allison Dunnigan, the first African-American wom-

an credentialed to cover the White House, will go on display next month at the Newseum, the nonprofit news museum in Washington.

Dunnigan, a native of Russellville, Kentucky, became head of the Associated Negro Press’ Washington bureau

in 1947. In 1948, she covered President Harry Truman’s whistle-stop campaign tour, the first Black, female journalist to do so.

Dunnigan also was the first Black woman to obtain press credentials to cover Congress, the State Department and the

Supreme Court. She died in 1983.

The bronze sculpture of Dunnigan was created by Kentucky sculptor Amanda Matthews. It will be displayed at the Newseum from Sept. 21 until Dec. 16, then moved to Dunnigan’s hometown.

OPED JUSTICE SERVED: MCCULLOCH OUT, BELL IN AS ST. LOUIS COUNTY PROSECUTOR

By Julianne Malveaux

J H son.

ust over four years ago, on August 9, 2014, 18-year-old Michael Brown was murdered by police officer Darren Wil-

e was shot six times, and might have survived some of the shots, but was fatally wounded when he was shot in the head.

Wilson claimed he shot in self-defense, but Michael Brown was unarmed.

St. Louis County prosecutor Bob McCulloch took his time convening a grand jury and announced in November 2014, three months after Brown’s murder, that the grand jury voted not to indict Wilson.

Critics say that McCulloch manipulated the grand jury process to protect Darren Wilson, but now he has his comeuppance.

The 27-year prosecutor was defeated by Wesley Bell, an African American attorney and member of the Ferguson City Council.

Bell seems quite the opposite of the racially-biased McCulloch, a prosecutor who incarcerated poor African Americans for minor offenses.

McCulloch and the Ferguson police department were cited by the Department of Justice for unfair practices and for using substantial traffic fines as revenue generators for the city.

Had Wesley Bell been County Prosecutor, it is likely that Darren Wilson would have been held accountable in the murder of Michael Brown.

Wesley Bell was endorsed by the Real Justice PAC, an exciting new political action committee whose purpose is to “elect prosecutors who will fix our broken criminal justice system.”

It’s a great approach given that “prosecutorial discretion” often determines who will be charged, and for what offenses. Prosecutors are the ones who decide whether to charge someone with a crime or convene a grand jury.

They also choose how much

Hopefully, he will be chastened enough by his loss to curtail his oppressive manner of enforcing the law.

bail to ask for, often pressuring indigent defendants into plea deals or holding them in jail for long periods of time if they cannot post bond.

The Real Justice PAC website lists nine endorsements for this election cycle. Two, Wesley Bell and Contra Costa District Attorney Diana Bec-

Truman received roughly 77 percent of the Black vote. It was at the point that many Blacks began to self-identify as Democrats. However, not all Black people were ready to switch so fast.

It took a few more years for Blacks to shift to the Democratic Party in the way they have today.

In 1956, Republican Dwight D. Eisenhower got 39 percent of the Black vote and four years later Republican Richard Nixon got 32 percent of the Black vote in 1960. However, once President Lyndon B. Johnson championed the landmark Civil Rights Act of 1964, while his Republican opponent Senator Barry Goldwater openly opposed it, the almost full migration to the Democratic Party by African Americans had begun. Johnson received 94 percent of the Black vote that year. The following year President Johnson signed the Voting Rights Act of 1965 into law and ever since, no Republican presidential candidate has gotten more than 15 percent of the Black vote.

African Americans are more than just a vote. Blacks have sacrificed and contributed mightily to the betterment of our nation, and to our state and local governments. No political party should ever treat the Black community and Black voters like political piñatas. Black people need to receive the same type of support and political respect as all other groups of people in this country. If African Americans aren’t respected and are continuously treated like political piñatas, then they might just become galvanized to the point where they either switch political parties or create their own—whatever it takes to avoid becoming a proverbial political piñata.

This upcoming midterm election in November, along with the events leading up to it, will be telling and will show how much effort the Democratic Party has done to engage their loyal voting bloc – Black voters.

The National Newspaper Publishers Association (NNPA), which represents over 200 Black-owned media companies across the U.S., has been focused on encouraging 5 million Blacks to register to vote and go to the polls before the midterm elections in 2018. The NNPA is calling on the Democratic Party, the Republican Party and all of their affiliates to invest in voter outreach utilizing Black newspapers across the country and to join the NNPA’s efforts to get Blacks registered and to the polls in November.

ton, won their elections.

Two, Boston attorney Rachel Rollins and San Antonio’s Joe Gonzales, face elections later this year.

The other five lost their races, but were able to make essential points about criminal justice reform during their elections.

Their opponents were all incumbents who will, perhaps, be motivated by their challengers to make changes in the ways they administer the law.

This bottom-up approach to criminal justice reform, focusing on prosecutors who have a fair approach to “law and order,” is a logical outgrowth of the Black Lives Matter protests that have followed police killings of Black men and women.

The legacy of the deaths of Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown have been a focus on police accountability.

After Brown was killed, President Obama made $75 million available for local police departments to purchase body cameras, increasing police accountability in some instances (although some officers conveniently do not wear their cameras).

Having lost the Democratic primary for St. Louis County Prosecutor, Bob McCulloch still has a few months left to serve in his term.

Hopefully, he will be chastened enough by his loss to curtail his oppressive manner of enforcing the law.

Indeed, activists will need to pay attention to these last days of McCulloch’s reign.

While he has the potential to continue to damage the lives of many individuals, his loss is sweet revenge.

Wesley Bell, who has no Republican opponent for November’s race, has the opportunity to model what criminal justice can look like when a progressive leader is making prosecution decisions.

Perhaps Wesley Bell’s win will encourage the Real Justice PAC to seek out candidates in other cities— their work, so far, has focused on California, Texas, and the St. Louis race.

People of color in many urban areas, however, face injustice when biased prosecutors act on their biases with their “prosecutorial discretion.” Police officers, too, use their prejudices to decide when to charge and when not to.

Unconscious bias is a benign word for racism, and it is rife in the criminal justice system. Electing better prosecutors is a first step toward reversing some of this, so I applaud the work of the Real Justice PAC. But there is so much more that must be done before we experience equal justice.

Is the Black Vote Still Being Treated Like a Political Piñata?

Democrats and Republicans Must Do More to Engage African Americans

By Jeffrey L. Boney When it comes to politics in this country, there is one thing that seems to be a constant—the Black vote is important and always tends to make a difference.

Although Blacks make up roughly 13 percent of the overall population in the United States, Black voters remain a powerful voting bloc that can change the trajectory of any election.

Now, it is no secret that Black people overwhelmingly vote for Democratic candidates in nearly every national election, with identical results being shown in local and state elections.

Even in elections where a race is considered to be nonpartisan, such as for a Mayor or City Council seat, Black people have historically voted for the candidates that have self-identified or campaigned as a Democrat.

While this has been the norm for decades, Black people have been on the receiving end of neglect and disparate treatment by candidates who win with the overwhelming support of the Black vote.

It is an interesting phenomenon to watch, as Black people are strategically sought after and courted for their vote, with the hope of securing their collective support for specific candidates or certain issues. Black people are typically courted with the same archaic methods to get them registered and to the polls, while providing limited resources for voter outreach and education.

On the surface, African Americans are marketed to as if their sacred vote means so much, but historically that often changes once their vote is cast.

The way African American voters are treated, it is as if they have become a political piñata.

You know what a “piñata is right?

According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, a “piñata” is “a decorated container filled with candies, fruits, and gifts that is hung up at parties or celebrations and hit with a stick by blindfolded persons until it is broken and the things inside it fall out.”

As it relates to voting, African Americans are often treated like the treats on the inside of a piñata. They don’t care how they get Black votes, they just want that vote no matter how Blacks are treated or handled. Blacks are consistently pounded and beat over the head with political messages during campaign season until they give up their precious and valuable vote. Then once that piñata is finally opened, or in this case when the Black votes are finally cast, Black voters are either forgotten or vilified depending on the outcome of the race.

The routine is simple. When the results don’t go the way those who courted the Black vote wanted it to go, they blame the Blacks for the results. However, when the outcome is favorable to

those who courted the Black vote, they celebrate the results, reap the benefits and then essentially ignore those same loyal, African American voters after the election is over.

Because Black voters overwhelmingly vote for Democratic candidates, it would make sense for the Democratic

again under my watch. We can’t criticize Black voters for not showing up, because it’s not on them. It’s on the Democratic Party to show up and put our money where our mouth is to better organize in the African American community.”

History shows us that beginning

It’s on the Democratic Party to show up and put our money where our mouth is to better organize in the African American community.”

Democratic Chairman Tom Perez Party to avoid treating Blacks like piñatas and taking them for granted.

At a recent plenary session at the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) Annual Convention in Detroit, Democratic National Committee Chair Tom Perez emphatically stated that the Democratic Party had become notorious for taking African Americans for granted.

“Shame on us for taking African Americans for granted,” said Perez.

“We can’t allow that to happen again and we won’t allow that to happen

with the Civil War era and through the early part of the 20th century, Blacks voted heavily Republican. One key factor for that was the decision for Republican President Abraham Lincoln to push for and pass the Emancipation Proclamation.

Many Blacks who lived in the South were prevented from participating in the political process. It wasn’t until 1924 that Blacks were even permitted to attend Democratic conventions in any official capacity.

This year’s action focused on the need to vote for children and the fact that every vote matters. Though children and teenagers in Freedom Schools are too young to vote themselves, they held rallies and marches urging adults to get registered and vote for leaders this election cycle and in every election who will stand for children. Young people are refusing to sit on the sidelines as they see even children’s most basic needs under assault by many in the Administration and Congress.

I am so proud of the Freedom Schools scholars who have learned they are following in the footsteps of children and youths who were the foot soldiers and infantry of the Civil Rights Movement. Some of their stories from the Movement are well known: six-year-old Ruby Bridges in New Orleans walked through White mobs to attend school – even praying for those jeering at her; the Little Rock Nine; the four little girls killed in the bombing of Birmingham’s 16th Street Baptist Church. Thousands of children were on the front lines of history.

Whether sung or unsung heroes we owe all of them a debt of gratitude.

Remembering these past struggles and the price of progress to get non-White children an equal education makes recent threats and actions by the Trump Administration simply evil – as they seek to halt or reverse course on civil rights, education and juvenile justice protections; school desegregation; housing discrimination; and affirmative action. On July 3rd, as one most recent example, the Department of Justice announced it was repealing 24 federal guidance documents that all sought to clarify basic federal civil rights protections for children, older youths and young adults and the Department of Education announced it would delay for two years a requirement that states identify and address racial disparities in special education, including disparities in the ways children of color are disciplined. What a mean unjust slap in the face of our most vulnerable children.

We must continue to support and praise the action by today’s children and youths standing up against injustice, gun violence, child poverty, and unequal education and let them know we stand with them, are determined not to go backwards, and will step forward with them on the front lines seeking justice.

NEWS Judge Tells U.S. Officials, ACLU to Come Up with Asylum Plan

“The court is upholding the rights provided to all persons under the United States Constitution.”

—Judge Dana Sabraw

By Julie Watson SAN DIEGO (AP)—A federal judge called on the U.S. government and the American Civil Liberties Union last week to come up with a plan to ad-

dress the rights of parents and children separated at the U.S.Mexico border to seek asylum.

The request was made during a hearing a day after U.S. District Judge Dana Sabraw extended a freeze on depor-

tations of recently reunified families, giving a reprieve to hundreds of children and their parents who want to remain in the United States.

Sabraw wrote in issuing the order that “hasty removal of

Source: Omarosa Has Video, Audio, Texts

By Darlene Superville WASHINGTON (AP)— It’s not just audiotapes.

Omarosa Manigault Newman has a stash of video, emails, text messages and other documentation supporting the claims in her tell-all book about her time in the Trump White House, a person with direct knowledge of the records told The Associated Press.

Manigault Newman has made clear that she plans to continue selectively releasing the pieces of evidence if President Donald Trump and his associates continue to attack her credibility and challenge

agreement with the campaign that prohibits her from disclosing confidential information.

She told PBS in a separate interview this week: “I have a significant amount, in fact, a treasure trove, of multimedia backup for everything that’s not only in “Unhinged,” but everything that I assert about Donald Trump.”

Manigault Newman claims Trump officials offered her a job on the campaign as a way of silencing her, after she was fired from the White House.

She’s accused Trump of being racist and suffering from a mental decline.

The White House has coun-

publisher responded that it was acting “well within” its rights.

“Unhinged” has spent the past few days at No. 2 on Amazon.com’s best-seller list, trailing only Rachel Hollis’ lifestyle book “Girl, Wash Your Face.”

Manigault Newman was director of communications for a White House office that networks with various constituency groups until she was fired last December by chief of staff John Kelly, citing “significant integrity issues.” Before joining the administration, Manigault Newman handled African-American outreach for Trump’s presidential campaign. She has known Trump

these children and their parents at the expense of an ordered process provided by law” would go against the public’s interest and deprive the minors of their right to seek asylum.

During Friday’s hearing,

Sabraw asked the two sides to come to an agreement over whether some parents who were deported without their children should be returned to the U.S. to pursue asylum with the minors.

Schools Grapple with Obligations to Migrants in Shelters

By Sally Ho Some school systems around the U.S. have been reaching out to assist with the education of immigrant children at nearby shelters.

The federal government and its housing contractors bear responsibility for instruction but some districts say they have felt compelled to intervene amid the outcry over separation of children from their parents at the U.S.-Mexico border.

The centers house thousands of immigrant

youths, including mostly unaccompanied minors who arrived in the country without their families.

The superintendent of schools in San Benito, Texas, reached out to the local Southwest Key shelter and agreed to send bilingual teachers, mobile classrooms and computers.

But most of the 61 school systems with shelters in their district boundaries that were contacted by The Associated Press said they have not had contact with the shelters.

Lee Gelernt, an ACLU attorney representing separated families, said some deported parents should be allowed to return to accompany their children through the asylum process.

He told the judge others should be let back in because they were misled into believing that if they agreed to be deported, they would be reunited with their children.

As many as 366 parents who were deported to their homelands have not yet been reunited with their children.

Sabraw asked the government to provide a detailed report next week on the progress of its efforts to reunify those families.

The government has opposed delaying deportations, saying parents waived the rights of their children to pursue asylum claims after the adults signed deportation forms.

The order to extend the freeze, which Sabraw first put in place July 16, affects many of the more than 2,500 children who were separated from their parents.

Sabraw said delaying the deportations “would not unfairly or unduly tax available government resources.”

He said claims of people persecuted in their homelands should at least be heard as they seek asylum.

Many families have said they were fleeing violence in their home countries in Central America and planned to seek asylum.

“The court is upholding the rights provided to all persons under the United States Constitution, rights that are particularly important to minor children seeking refuge through asylum,” Sabraw wrote.

In late June, Sabraw ordered that children under 5 be rejoined with their parents in 14 days and children 5 and older be rejoined in 30 days.

The order came days after President Donald Trump, amid public outrage about children being taken from their parents, halted the “zero-tolerance” policy implemented in the spring that split up families at the border.

The government so far has reunified at least 2,089 children with their parents or others, including sponsors.

More than 560 were still separated.

hief Judge Beryl A. Howell of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia threw out a lawsuit filed by a group of civil rights organizations challenging HUD’s delay of the Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing rule.

Finalized in 2015, the rule for the first time required more than 1,200 jurisdictions receiving HUD block grants and housing aid to analyze housing stock and come up with a plan for addressing patterns of segregation and discrimination. If HUD determined that the plan, called a Fair Housing Assessment, wasn’t sufficient, the city or county would have to rework it or risk losing funding.

HUD said in January that it would immediately stop reviewing plans that had been submitted but not yet accepted, and jurisdictions won’t have to comply with the rule until after 2020. The agency said the postponement was in response to complaints from communities that had struggled to complete assessments and produce plans meeting HUD’s standards; of the 49 submissions HUD received in 2017, roughly a third were sent back. In delaying the rule, HUD reverted to its previous process for evaluating discrimination in housing.

“What we heard convinced us that the Assessment of Fair Housing tool for local governments wasn’t working well,” HUD said in the statement.

“In fact, more than a third of our early submitters failed to produce an acceptable assessment—not for lack of trying but because the tool designed to help them to succeed wasn’t

helpful.” Civil rights organizations including National Fair Housing Alliance, Texas Appleseed and Texas Low Income Housing Information Service sued HUD and Secretary Ben Carson earlier this year. The suit argued that Carson didn’t follow the procedures necessary to suspend such a rule, and that the delay violates the Fair Housing Act, which requires jurisdictions to take active steps to combat segregation.

Howell rejected the groups’ request for a preliminary injunction and blocked the state of New York from joining suit.

She wrote in her order the delay of the AFFH rule hasn’t caused harm to the groups or impeded their ability to do their jobs.

Howell wrote that because c the fact that other pieces of the rule, such as the assessment tool “are presently dormant does not translate to the dismantling and suspension of the AFFH Rule in a way that affects the plaintiffs’ mission-driven activities.”

“The extent to which the challenged HUD notices direct-

ly conflict or perceptibly impede the plaintiffs’ mission-oriented activities seems difficult to measure, or, in other words, are imperceptible,” she wrote.

“We are deeply disap-

It's unclear whether the officer hit the boy intentionally.

NEWS Not Just Land Heat Waves: Oceans Are in Hot Water, Too

By Christina Larson

W

ASHINGTON (AP)—Even the oceans are breaking temperature records in this summer of heat waves.

Off the San Diego coast, scientists earlier this month recorded all-time high seawater temperatures since daily measurements began in 1916.

“Just like we have heat waves on land, we also have heat waves in the ocean,” said Art Miller of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography.

Between 1982 and 2016, the number of “marine heat waves” roughly doubled, and likely will become more common and intense as the planet warms, a study released Wednesday found. Prolonged periods of extreme heat in the oceans can damage kelp forests and coral reefs, and harm fish and other marine life.

“This trend will only further accelerate with global warming,” said Thomas Frolicher, a climate scientist at the University of Bern in Switzerland, who led the research.

His team defined marine heat waves as extreme events in which sea-surface temperatures exceeded the 99th percentile of measurements for a given location.

Because oceans both absorb and release heat more slowly than air, most ma-

rine heat waves last for at least several days - and some for several weeks, said Frolicher.

“We knew that average temperatures were rising. What we haven’t focused on before is that the rise in the average comes at you in clumps of very hot days—a shock of several days or weeks of very high temperatures,” said Michael Oppenheimer, a Princeton University climate scientist who was not involved in the study.

reefs and kelp forests “are in real peril,” said Michael Burrows, an ecologist at the Scottish Marine Institute, who was not part of the research.

In 2016 and 2017, persistent high ocean temperatures off eastern Australia killed off as much as half of the shallow water corals of the Great Barrier Reef— with significant consequences for other creatures dependent upon the reef.

“One in every four fish in the ocean

The latest study in Nature relied on satellite data and other records of sea-surface temperatures including from ships and buoys.

Many sea critters have evolved to survive within a fairly narrow band of temperatures compared to creatures on land, and even incremental warming can be disruptive.

Some free-swimming sea animals like bat rays or lobsters may shift their routines. But stationary organisms like coral

lives in or around coral reefs,” said Ove Hoegh-Guldberg, a marine biologist at the University of Queensland. “So much of the ocean’s biodiversity depends upon a fairly small amount of the ocean floor.”

The latest study in Nature relied on satellite data and other records of sea-surface temperatures including from ships

and buoys.

It didn’t include the recent recordbreaking measurements off Scripps Pier in San Diego—which reached 79.5 degrees Fahrenheit on August 9—but Frolicher and Miller said the event was an example of a marine heat wave.

Miller said he knew something was odd when he spotted a school of bat rays— which typically only congregate in pockets of warm water—swimming just off the pier earlier this month.

Changes in ocean circulation associated with warmer surface waters will likely mean decreased production of phytoplankton—the tiny organisms that form the basis of the marine food web, he said.

Marine biologists nicknamed a patch of persistent high temperatures in the Pacific Ocean between 2013 and 2016 “the Blob.”

During that period, decreased phytoplankton production led to a cascading lack of food for many species, causing thousands of California sea lion pups to starve, said Miller, who had no role in the Nature study.

“We’ve repeatedly set new heat records. It’s not surprising, but it is shocking,” he said.

App continued from page 6

that women understand exactly what they’re signing up for and the limitations, the Faculty of Sexual and Reproductive Healthcare of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists said in a statement.

The FDA gave its approval based on data from Natural Cycles involving 15,570 women who used the app for an average of eight months. The FDA said that if the app is used correctly all the time, 1.8 percent of women would get pregnant over one year. The “typical use” failure rate, which factors in human error, was 6.5 percent.

The birth control pill’s failure rate is 9 percent, while for condoms it’s 18 percent and 24 percent for fertility-awareness methods , but those figures are backed up by much more long-term data.

The company’s founders, Elina Berglund and Raoul Scherwitzl, are a married couple

who are both former physicists. Berglund was part of a team of scientists looking for the Higgs boson particle at the European Organization for Nuclear Research, or CERN, in Switzerland.

They pivoted from science to startups when they wrote the algorithm to help them have a baby and then developed an app to tap broader demand.

The app is free to download but the company charges $10 a month to use it. Its claims were called into question in January, after Swedish regulators started investigating reports that 37 women who used it became pregnant anyway.

The Swedish Medical Product Agency said it’s looking into whether the number of unwanted pregnancies falls within the app’s claimed effectiveness rate, and the investigation is expected to wrap up in September.

Natural Cycles said that as a condition of EU certification, it must continue monitoring user data, which it says show that the typical-use effectiveness rate remains at 93 percent.

“We care deeply each and every time one of our users becomes pregnant,” the company said in a statement. “One of the ongoing challenges with all forms of contraception is that there is always a statistical chance of unintended pregnancy, since no method is 100 percent effective.”

FDA spokeswoman Deborah Kotz said the agency was aware of the Swedish reports but felt they were consistent with its knowledge of risks associated with the app.

“An increase in the absolute numbers of unintended pregnancies is expected with a growing number of users,” she said.

Britain’s Advertising Standards Author-

ity, meanwhile, says it’s looking into whether paid-for Facebook posts that claim Natural Cycles is a “highly accurate contraceptive app” and “clinically tested alternative to birth control methods” are misleading.

“We have launched a formal investigation and will publish our findings in due course,” the authority said.

Burbidge said more outside research into fertility apps is needed because “at the moment there’s not enough independent evidence” on their reliability.

She added that women using such apps need to be motivated and aware of factors that can make it less effective, such as travel, alcohol, stress or not getting enough sleep, which can all affect temperature readings.

“There’s so much you can do that makes it not perfect,” she said.

UNLESS YOU TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY, IT MAY BE SOLD AT A PUBLIC SALE. IF YOU NEED AN EXPLANATION OF THE NATURE OF THE PROCEEDING AGAINST YOU, YOU SHOULD CONTACT A LAWYER. A public auction sale to the highest bidder for cash, cashier's check drawn on a state or national bank, check drawn by state or federal credit union, or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, or savings association, or savings bank specified in Section 5102 to the Financial Code and authorized to do business in this state, will be held by duly appointed trustee. The sale will be made, but without covenant or warranty, expressed or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the accrued principal sum of the note(s) secured by the Deed of Trust, with interest and late charges thereon, as provided in the note(s), advances, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, interest thereon, fees, charges and expenses of the trustee for the total amount (at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale) reasonably estimated to be set forth below. The amount may be greater on the day of sale.

BENEFICIARY MAY BID LESS THAN THE TOTAL AMOUNT DUE. Trustor(s): OLIVIA B. SMITH, AN UNMARRIED WOMAN Recorded: 11/14/2012 as Instrument No. 20121727532 of Official Records in the office of the Recorder of LOS ANGELES County, California; Date of Sale: 10/2/2018 at 10:00 AM Place of Sale: Behind the fountain located in Civic Center Plaza, 400 Civic Center Plaza, Pomona CA 91766 Amount of accrued balance and other charges: $271,830.27 The purported property address is: 935 W 133Rd Street, Compton, CA 90222 Assessor's Parcel No. : 6146-013-031 NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property.

You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property.

NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this Notice of Sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 916-939-0772 for information regarding the trustee's sale or visit this Internet Web site http://www.qualityloan.com, using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the trustee: CA-17801351-NJ. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. The undersigned trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address or other common designation, if any, shown herein. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale. If

the trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder's sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the trustee, and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. If the sale is set aside for any reason, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the deposit paid. The Purchaser shall have no further recourse against the mortgagor, the mortgagee, or the mortgagee's attorney. If you have previously been discharged through bankruptcy, you may have been released of personal liability for this loan in which case this letter is intended to exercise the note holders right's against the real property only. As required by law, you are hereby notified that a negative credit report reflecting on your credit record may be submitted to a credit report agency if you fail to fulfill the terms of your credit obligations.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property.

If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property.

You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information.

If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property.

NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (800) 280-2832 or visit this Internet Web site www.auction.com, using the file number assigned to this case 18-51682.

ENTERTAINMENT Producer Who Worked with Ms. Franklin Recalls Great Performances

By Nekesa Mumbi Moody

W

hen Ken Ehrlich, the longtime producer of the Grammys and other awards shows, worked with the Obama administration on a concert honoring women at the White House, first lady Michelle Obama laid down one rule. "You aren’t doing a tribute to women in my house without Aretha Franklin,” Ehrlich recalls Obama telling him.

And so Franklin—a longtime friend of Ehrlich— was added to the 2014 “Women of Soul” bill, which included Patti LaBelle, Ariana Grande, Janelle Monae and Tessanne Chin. Despite those illustrious names and subsequent rousing performances, it was Franklin who of course stole the show. In her closing performance, Franklin performed “Amazing Grace”—while wearing a fur coat—and took the White House to church with a foot-stomping, hand-clapping rendition that continued even after show officially ended.

“When she got going, and she was in the spirit, which she would get when she was singing gospel . you could start her, but stopping her was an entirely different story,” Ehrlich said by phone on Thursday, hours after learning of Franklin’s death at the age of 76.

That moment was just one of the magical moments Ehrlich helped orchestrate with Franklin over the years.

The most famous, certainly, was when Ehrlich was producing the Grammys in 1998 and Luciano Pavarotti was scheduled to sing “Nessun Dorma” during the broadcast—but then bowed out due to illness just as the show was about to air live.

Ehrlich quickly started running through the many performers on hand who could fill the time—he first thought of asking Stevie Wonder to do something amazing, as Wonder is known to do. But then Ehrlich recalled Franklin had performed at a tribute concert to Pavarotti two nights earlier, and sung “Nessun Dorma.”

She was already due to do a short performance of “Respect” for a “Blues Brothers” anniversary number—perhaps she would fill in for the famed opera tenor?

So he went to Franklin’s cramped dressing room— she had a small one because she was not the main performer—and interrupting her fried chicken dinner to make his last-minute request.

“I think I said, ‘How would you like to sing twice tonight?”’ he recalled. “Then there was a silence, and she said, ‘OK, I’ll do it.”

Just before she went on stage, Ehrlich remembers her squeezing his hand and saying to him, “This is gonna be fun.”

It was more than fun: It became one of her greatest performances, part of music history, and added to her already legendary status, with the Queen of Soul so deftly performing the famous aria.

“When she she got got going, going, and and she she was was in in the the spirit, spirit, “When which she she would would get get when when she she was was singing singing which gospel .. you you could could start start her, her, but but stopping stopping her her gospel was an an entirely entirely different different story.” story.” was —Grammy producer producer Ken Ken Ehrlich Ehrlich —Grammy

Queen of Soul to Be Laid to Rest Aug. 31 in Detroit

By Mesfin Fekadu NEW YORK (AP)—Aretha Franklin’s funeral will be held Aug. 31 in her hometown of Detroit.

The late singer’s publicist, Gwendolyn Quinn, said Friday that the funeral, to be held at Greater Grace Temple, is limited to the Queen of Soul’s family and friends.

Public viewings will take place Aug. 28-29 at

the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.

Franklin will be entombed at Woodlawn Cemetery in Detroit, along with her father Rev. C.L. Franklin; sisters Carolyn Franklin and Erma Franklin; brother Cecil Franklin; and nephew Thomas Garrett.

Franklin died last Thursday at her home in Detroit from pancreatic cancer. She was 76.

Washburn Professor: Langston Hughes Was Older Than Thought TOPEKA, Kan. (AP)—A professor in Kansas says that poet Langston Hughes may have been born a year earlier that what’s on record.

Hughes is commonly thought to have been born in 1902, spending his childhood in Topeka and Lawrence, the Topeka Capital-Journal reported.

But Washburn University professor Eric McHenry said he unearthed evidence that Hughes was actually born a year earlier.

He said a Black newspaper called The Plaindealer had an entry from 1901 that indicated “Little Langston Hughes” was under the weather but improving.

The “ephemeral gossip” made a “vibrant historic re-

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP)—The Minnesota Orchestra’s two-week tour of South Africa is taking its performances to audiences that may have never heard classical music before.

Classical music was considered something for the nation’s white elite under the apartheid regime that ruled South Africa for much of the second half of the 20th century, Minnesota Public Radio News reported. Outreach has become a part of the Minnesota Orchestra tours.

The Minnesota Orchestra is hoping to play to diverse audiences on its five-city tour. The orchestra is also incorporating new music into its performances.

The group recently performed for teachers, students and families at Eurocon Primary School in Elsies River, which is just outside of Cape Town, South Africa. The group was greeted by schools student choir.

“Our community needs this kind of thing to teach them about other cultures and musical instruments, and music,” said Eurocon Principal Frank Agulhas.

The orchestra spit into small groups to explain their how their instruments work and later played. The performance started with the string quartet, followed by a woodwind quintet, and then the brass quintet.

Hughes and the time he lived in, though its significance is an ongoing mystery.

Hughes began school in 1908. One theory McHenry has is that Hughes’ mother may have intentionally enrolled him a year later so that he was physically and developmentally ahead of his classmates at the white Topeka school he attended.

The second theory is that Hughes reinvented himself as being a year younger when he moved to Cleveland, Ohio, in high school.

There is no evidence Hughes acknowledged the difference in his birth year.

A third “plausible” theory McHenry found on Twitter is that Hughes may have changed his birth year to avoid the military draft during World War I. McHenry said that theory is one “to explore further.”

“It’s really interesting to speculate about,” McHenry said.

Hughes began writing poetry as a child and became a distinguished figure in the Harlem Renaissance, writing nowfamous poems like “I, Too” and “Dream Deferred.” He also published fiction, nonfiction and plays.

He died in 1967.
